"It is difficult to get someone to understand something when their salary depends on them NOT understanding it." - Upton Sinclair

The billionaires, politicians, CEOs, etc can speak with carefully chosen words and act calm and peaceful because they outsource their violence to cops, the military, bureaucracy clerks, lawyers, insurance companies, etc.

Deeply disappointed to hear that the BBC has pushed out one of the most brilliant presenters in all of science communication for speaking with integrity and honor in support of human rights and dignity.

huh… weird

This is what we call a cabbit ;)

Several kinds of trauma all neatly packed into one single nightmare. Didn’t really need that…

They pick on the weak. They pick on the vulnerable. They want it to look like an intimidating show of force. There’s also something more nefarious behind it…. Which is that they’re counting on society to not care if a disabled person gets *more* disabled. We need you to care.

Yep, and that “people need to experience or at least fear punishment” concept comes from the christian ideology of about 1500 years ago.

When you’re organizing stuff cuz maintenance is poking all around and you find stuff you either didn’t remember or didn’t know where it was: “It’s like finding treasure!”

Posting this short article until morale improves.

Disgraceful.

CVS is not offering COVID vaccines in 16 states that require CDC approval for pharmacists to give them—incl. my home state, MA. I’m 66, w. other risk factors, & go back to the classroom next week. If I get COVID, that will be an assault, perhaps a homicide, at RFK Jr’s, Trump’s, & the GOP’s hands.

Vaccines save lives. Pass it on. I just scheduled mine for next Friday.

I'm still very ill right now but I have received little mutual aid this month and I seriously need to address my impending bills🤦🏽‍♀️ $maelee21 V: @ Maelee-Johnson PayPal.me/maeleeJ ko-fi.com/maedaej #HelpFolksLive2025

The idea that one can “own” an OCxNPC ship is taking the concept of ownership entirely too far I think.

With alt text. If enough viewers do this, hopefully it'll send a stronger message than abandoning a handful of small channels.

All the more reason Scotland needs to leave the UK.

It’s very telling when someone refers to a man as a man but a woman as “a female.”

I had been thinking of changing my lock screen to a character pic. Might do it now.

Engagement bait. Post your lock screen. Mine feels simple by comparison lol (Edited slightly cuz people don’t need to know my mobile network)

🧵Here's a timeline of Appeasement of violent white supremacists by American Leaders. Fromb the founding to the Civil War...

"They're not extermination camps!" "Nobody is talking about extermination!" -- "Nobody ever talks about it. They just do it. And you go on with your lives, ignoring the signs all around you. And then one day when the air is still and the night is fallen, they come for you."

Of course lol

Sessa is bisexual but it’s not really part of her narrative (need to get her a date or something eventually heh). Kanina is lesbian, and it’s part of why she left her home village: loss of a lover to disease drove her to leave and study the healing arts.

Been dealing with some sick, pain and other medical stuff so felt compelled to remind that files for the Delay, Deny, Defend, Depose bindrune are free for embroidery, tattoos, graphic design, etc~ 🔗👇 (Any coin you could toss to a poor völva would be appreciated. Shares are also good as gold. 💖)

Sessa will often travel via boat or airship when possible, as it’s not only more elegant than having your molecules & aether beamed to another place, buy also usually much cheaper too.

The UN approved a resolution for an International Day of Hope. It was approved 161 to 1. The only country to vote no? America -- under orders by Donald Trump.

If you don't agree, swiftly launch yourself into the sun 😘

Columbia called the cops on students— *like trump wanted*— & this is how Trump responds. One should never comply with evil, but if even your complicity with evil will not save you— & it will not— then why comply? Do not comply; not in advance, not at all. Fight for the right thing, no matter what.

“The only men in the women’s restroom were the cops.” Like I’ve always said, men don’t need to pretend to be women to harass and harm women. They just need to get a job as a cop.

Whenever anti-trans panic gets whipped up, more of these stories happen.

if you capitulate on trans kids playing sports with their friends the right will keep moving further until they are calling for “eradication” and you are telling me you are willing to join their calls if they move public opinion enough

Because her account keeps getting deleted and marked a spam by people who deserve to break an ankle running to catch the bus, I'm linking my friend Elham's gfm. 🇵🇸🖤

Never have people been so proud about being so fucking stupid.

Today’s #CyberSecTotD is about obscuring your digital footprint from Large Language Models (LLMs) which are really the content grist for the Generative AI (GenAI) mill.

Let's just say it wouldn't be the first time I saw a right wing Columbia undergrad try to fuck with pro-Palestine activists. www.newarab.com/news/inside-...

Right after Trump said he'd stop federal funding, "for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested."
